When Li Luo returned to Semicolon that day, shopkeeper Cheng sent an invitation.
"Lin Baihu invites you to a banquet and drinks tomorrow."
The post was marked "Family Banquet", indicating that no official courtesy was required and it was considered a simple gathering. Li Luoyou couldn't help but be startled. He had only met Lin Ming not long ago, so what could happen if he suddenly wanted to have a banquet?
"What's the origin of this post?" he asked Shopkeeper Cheng. Shopkeeper Cheng was very familiar with the locals and could get some information.
"I heard that his sister-in-law came recently..."
"Huang Miao." Li Luoyou said, "Does Jie Feng want us to accompany his family members?"
"No, I heard that this sister-in-law was escorted by two drug dealers along the way. Lin Baihu probably wanted to help them and introduce some business to them as a reward." Shopkeeper Cheng told Lin Baihu's servant
The news he heard from Li told him, "I heard that shopkeeper Yang and several shopkeepers from medicine shops were also invited."
"Understood." Li Luoyou nodded. It would be easier to handle it like this. Whether it is buying or selling, it is not a problem to show some friendship to them. Besides, they are also many friends.
"Reply to Mr. Lin and say I will definitely go."
The next day, there was a banquet, and the guest of honor was accompanied by many guests. They were all present - the chief official of Jinyiwei Baihu Institute was treating the guests. Most people really didn't have the courage to refuse. Yang Shiyi saw his cousin and the "famous doctor from high position"
Sitting in the guest of honour's seat, his expression changed drastically, which made Li Luoyou very strange.
"Mr. Yang, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no." Yang Shiyi touched his face, thinking that his face didn't look very good.
"Brother!" Yang Shixiang didn't expect to meet his cousin.
"Fifth brother." Yang Shiyi returned the salute with his hands raised, and his waist was much deeper than the previous few days.
"Why, do you two know each other?" Lin Ming was surprised.
"Exactly -" Yang Shixiang replied calmly, "This is the villain's cousin."
"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such a relative." Lin Ming said with a smile, stroking his hands, "I should have thought that his surname is also Yang, and he is in the business of medicinal materials."
"Yes, yes, the youngest and Shixiang are cousins, and he ranks fifth." Yang Shiyi was sweating on his forehead. Looking at it, Lin Baihu called him here just to invite them to accompany him - the fifth brother's younger brother.
When did that bastard get on Jin Yiwei's side? Thinking of his attitude towards his fifth brother this time, he couldn't help but panic.
"That's a close relative." Lin Ming said with a smile, "As the eldest brother, you should support this brother properly."
"Yes, yes, we are all a family, so naturally we have to do our best." Yang Shiyi responded hurriedly.
Li Luoyou said: "Lin Baihu's friends are naturally the friends I am waiting for. If they are useful, just speak up." As he spoke, the boy beside him quickly handed over a name card.
"Shopkeeper Yang, you have met the God of Wealth this time." Lin Ming said proudly, "This shopkeeper Li is not an ordinary person. He is also a well-known figure in Guangzhou City." He praised Li Luoyou greatly.
After a while.
Because of his work, Liu San rarely reads internal publications such as "Social Situation Bulletin", but he is familiar with the name Li Luoyou - Liu San has participated in several joint meetings held by the trade department because of the purchase of drugs.
At the meeting, the intelligence department once mentioned: This person is the supplier of "Guandong goods" in South China-especially the supply of ginseng and deer antlers, which he has almost a monopoly on. This person undoubtedly has close trade ties with Houjin.
"Long time admiration! Long time admiration!" Everyone was polite and polite. Liu San's eyes always stayed on this "traitor businessman". He was about forty years old, with a long face, short beard, and was slightly fat.
He looks like a shrewd businessman, but his eyes are deep, and he has obviously seen strong winds and waves.
This is a worthy goal. Liu San thought that people in the trade department had mentioned that they should try their best to open up trade routes with Houjin, dump the light industrial products that Lingao Industry was gradually expanding, and at the same time exchange for much-needed horses and livestock.
Then, intelligence personnel were inserted through trade to establish an intelligence network in Liaodong.
Since this Li Luoyou deals in Liaodong goods, he has a relationship that can be exploited.
They sat down and held a candle. Since it was a small family banquet, the etiquette was loose and everyone chatted freely. Yang Shiyi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his back. He wondered if the fifth brother had any relationship with Lin Baihu? Has he ever molested himself in front of him?
Eye drops? I feel happy and worried at the same time. I am happy that it is something my fifth brother asked me to do a few days ago. He did not refuse it. He has done enough to save face and there is still room for turning around. I am worried because I am buying medicinal materials and selling them on a consignment basis.
There are three obstacles to push forward the patent medicine, I'm afraid this brother will hold a grudge for this.
After three rounds of drinking, the conversation got to the point, and it was Lin Ming who got up.
"Shop Manager Yang Wu," Lin Ming said, "What kind of medicine are you and Doctor Liu planning to sell when you come to Foshan?"
"Shi Weng is so complimentary." - Lin Ming's word "Heart Stone", in order to express familiarity and informality, they both called each other by words - Yang Shiyi cupped his hands and said: "These are two kinds of medicine that are specially designed to treat heat, filth and other evils.
Patent medicine.”
"I heard." Lin Ming didn't seem to be entirely polite, "Doctor Liu saved a beggar in the courtyard of Yang Run's Kaitang. Is this the only medicine he used?"
"Exactly." Liu San replied, secretly thinking that Jin Yiwei's information was really well-informed. They knew clearly if there were any quarrels or fights on the street. "It was Zhuge Xingjun San."
"Zhuge marched to disperse?" Lin Ming said, "Is this the recipe left by Marquis Wu?"
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in this time and space has become a well-known best-selling novel, and Zhuge Liang's name is also known to everyone. It has a celebrity effect.
Liu San smiled and said: "This is based on an ancient prescription with reduced and increased combinations. The ancient prescription said that this was 'left by Marquis Wu', so I just ignored it."
"That's it, but this medicine is wonderful and very useful." Lin Ming nodded repeatedly. Liu San's treatment of beggars in Yang Run was reported to Jinyiwei as social news that day. He was very interested in this heat-repelling medicine.
——Although Jin Yiwei sounds majestic and can be domineering in Foshan, the nature of their work means that they often have to travel outside on official business. Many colleagues are infected with epidemics on the road and die of heat stroke. If only there was such a patent medicine.
, wouldn’t it be great to carry it with you and be praised by your boss and colleagues?
How could Liu San and others not see what he was thinking? Fortunately, in order to open up the market for the medicine this time, Liu San specially made a lot of samples. He then distributed the samples to everyone at the table.
Li Luoyou asked, "Why are there two types? One is Bibibing Powder, and the other is Wuhou Xingjun Powder. Are they both cold medicines?"
Liu San smiled and said: "Actually, the efficacy of Biwen Powder is not as good as that of Marching Army Powder. Several valuable medicinal materials have been subtracted from it, and some cooling and relieving spices have been added. Although the effect is not as good, the advantage is that it is cheap and can be used by everyone.
It’s considered a good deed.”
"That's it." Li Luoyou nodded, picked some "Banwen Powder" with his fingernails, put it to his nose and inhaled, and sure enough, a cool smell went straight to his nose, and his mind suddenly became clear.
Looking at the introduction on the back of the small porcelain bottle, it said "Secret recipe of Lingao Runshitang". Li Luoyou was stunned for a moment. Is this pharmacy from Lingao?
Because he is an Australian, he is a little sensitive to Lingao. Looking carefully at Shopkeeper Yang and Dr. Liu, there is nothing wrong with the way they dress and behave. Are they just ordinary businessmen in Lingao? Shopkeeper Yang doesn't say anything about him.
, originally from the same clan as Yang Shixiang. The only one left is Liu San.
"Doctor Liu," he asked tentatively, "are you opening a pharmacy in Lingao?"
"Where." Liu San said calmly, "Runshitang is brother Shixiang's property. I just made a recipe."
"That's it." Li Luoyou said, and he had already concluded that Liu San and Dongzhu Guo, whom he had met before, were in the same group - they spoke Mandarin with a strange pronunciation, and they were definitely not people from the Ming Dynasty.
With such a ready-made Australian in front of him, Li Luo couldn't help but look at it carefully. He suddenly realized that the man in front of him was actually not very old. Although he had three strands of clear beard, he was probably less than thirty years old. His face was gentle.
, has a strong body, bright eyes, and black and rough hands, and seems to have done some farm work - it is really difficult to understand this kind of character.
However, his medicine is very useful. Because he sells ginseng and deer antlers, Li Luoyou has the most contact with medicine dealers, so he knows more about the properties and pharmacology of medicines. These two medicines are both summer safety medicines that can be kept on hand. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather will
The heat is getting hotter every day, which is the day when summer medicine sells well. I decided to buy a batch now - this transaction is guaranteed to make a profit, and it can also let Lin Baihu see his love.
"Shopkeeper Yang, I want 3,000 boxes of these anti-beast powders and 500 boxes of Zhuge Xingjun powder. I don't know when they can be delivered?"
Neither Liu San nor Yang Shixiang expected that he would ask for the goods on the spot. Yang Shixiang thought for a while: "One month."
"Okay, just one month. Where can I pick up the goods?"
Yang Shiyi quickly intervened: "I, Yang Runkaitang, will sell Runshitang's patent medicine on behalf of me. Mr. Li will just come directly to our store to pick up the goods."
"Then Brother Lao is here." Yang Shixiang smiled and thanked him.
"We are all brothers, that's how it should be." Yang Shiyi pretended to be "brothers of the same mind."
After the banquet, Lin Ming was very satisfied. Both Li Luoyou and Yang Shiyi had given him face and received this useful heat-heat medicine. He asked someone to order some boxes outside and prepared to use the heat-heat medicine as gifts.
.
When Liu San and others returned to the lower area, Yang Shixiang was very happy: "I didn't expect that shopkeeper Yang would be so generous!" He glanced at Liu San and said, "Old Liu, I didn't expect that you and Jin Yiwei actually have a relationship."
Liu San was unhappy. The last person he wanted to provoke was Jin Yiwei - he was also confused. Since this Qianqian was a family member of Jin Yiwei, the so-called "relatives" were probably from this group of people. He was so confused that he brought her here.
Fortunately, this Lin Baihu seems to be quite upright and not a treacherous person.
